15.10 Alpha1 Screensaver lock issue

[Adam Dullroy]

I have installed 15.10 Alpha1 into virtualbox to test and help where possible. On install the default screensaver cut in after 5 mins and when i tried to unlock the screensaver with my password to use the system after being away from my laptop.

It seemed as if it accepted the password as did not give any errors or hint it was incorrect, however it simply refreshed the screen is the best way to describe it and asked me for my password again to unlock the screensaver.

I have got round this by rebooting the system and disabling screensaver for the moment. With the screensaver active and not password required to unlock the screen the desktop is visable and working without issue.

Done some more testing since last update, i enabled a password on the root account so once the screensaver locked and i was unable to unlock the screensaver as myself. I switch user and logged on as other account and enter root details.

Then switched user once logged in as root back to my user account and was able to get past the screensaver issue.
